The Ohio Storm 08 was off this past weekend, getting ready for the Stingrays Showcase and 10U East Nationals in Tennessee. Good luck to all teams this weekend at Stingrays, and I agree, it's gonna be fun and very competitive. I want to thank all you coaches for recognizing the Storm in these rankings this year. The team, probably one of the youngest in these rankings, besides Bailey, has made such an improvement since the start of the season. For a young 9U team last year, this same team was successful last year, but was never ranked in the top 15 all last season. To be ranked in the top 5 all this year, is a testament to their dedication and hard work. Regardless of how these rankings shake out over the next few weeks, you all have done an awesome job with your teams. The Storm has enjoyed a great year. See everyone this weekend. This will be my last long post for this season.
